Michael Whalen publicly addressed his “disappointment and outrage” at the Diocese of Buffalo’s Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program (IRCP).
The man who made recent headlines after recounting how a Catholic Priest sexually abused him as a child continued to pressure the Diocese of Buffalo this weekend.
Victim and survivor Michael Whalen participated in a media conference Sunday afternoon, publicly addressing his “disappointment and outrage” at the Diocese’s Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program (IRCP).
The program, announced just Thursday, is for individuals claiming they were sexually abused by members of the clergy in Buffalo. But the Diocese of Buffalo will only accept applications from those who have submitted their claim before March 1, 2018.
